PSN and how to stay safe when it's back

STN Writes:

There have been many scare stories regarding PSN recently, with user data being compromised and the possibility of credit card details also being stolen.

It’s all scary stuff really, but how do you stay safe and stop this happening in the future? It’s our opinion that when PSN comes back up it will be safer than ever, passwords, personal information and credit card details will surely be encrypted and therefore it will make it hard for anyone who does manage to beat the odds and crack the system again.

I agree that we should stay away from using credit cards on psn for while now,unless of couse you are totally confident that the hackers cant get through sonys new security,just get the cards it aint that hard.

Blaze9294758d ago

how about we all STOP FORWARDING THOSE DAMN CHAIN MESSAGES!?

...other than that, yeah...

Menech4758d ago

I think after the recent f-up Sony's security will be extremely tight, considering all the bad publicity the last thing they want is it happening again.

Amazon has online codes for PSN cards.... problem solved.

kasasensei4758d ago

Prepaid cards. A paypal option would be great too. But i'm dreaming. No way sony is going to add (and pay) paypal to please us.

"PSN and how to stay safe when its back"

The "its" should be "it's".

You should be embarrassed.

I see journalists are trying to milk readers as much as possible, eh?

Especially you Joe (he's the writer of this story), right?

wotta4758d ago (Edited 4758d ago )

Not really embarrassed of a typo, everyone makes mistakes just ask Sony, Play.com and whoever else has screwed up recently.

caseh4758d ago

They have prepaid cards in most game stores these days, even supermarkets.

Only downside is I usually impulse buy from PSN rather than plan my purchasesI guess entering your card details, making the purchase then removing your details would be ok.

Ares844758d ago

I always did that, but I'm not doing it ever again. I will never enter my card number on PSN ever again. PSN cards is the best way to go.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5090d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905090d ago (Edited 5090d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5090d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5090d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495090d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5090d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5090d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
